I actually have bought paint for it, and it is 2004 competition orange. Its the same color that is on the Harley Davidson F-250s. I just don't know if I want to go thru all the steps in painting it with that color. Kubota orange is definately alot easier to spray, but I hate to copy Kubota.....hehehe

Its going to be my daily driver on the farm to keep miles off my good pickup and my mud runner/hunting truck.

I was thinking about camo'ing the truck out, or painting it with tractor paint to keep it simple. I got use of a heated shop this winter, so I won't have to wait till spring to paint it like I initially thought I was going to have to.

Another thing, I am building a custom dash for it, I don't have a speedo-cable and am going to be running Auto-Meter gauges in the dash, what do I need to get for a speedo/cable to make it work? It has 4.10 gears, NP435 tranny. If its too much of a hassle I won't put a speedo in it and just mount my GPS in it or run it off my Tach.

I would go white but I hate to be mistaken for a Cop....I think I'll leave the purple alone, Pro is doing a good job with the purple as it is

I would like to paint it blue and silver, but that sounds like too much work as well! LOL

Anyone have a D60 front to donate to the cause?

Some of the trator paint needs a harder or it will fade fast, within two mouths. All of mine run off the tack not the speedo. The tires are bigger than nos. And how did you get photo on the post?
